developing Digi FM Romania Galați 16d16d Impact 8

A Geran-2 Model 9 drone was detected flying at a low altitude in the Galați county airspace. Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan described the event as an irresponsible act and a serious violation of international law. The Romanian Ministry of Defense noted that the drone flew at low altitude for 4 minutes. Moscow has not yet issued a response to the incident. The drones are reportedly utilizing advanced flight routes to bypass electronic countermeasures and signal jamming. Operators may be utilizing Starlink or similar technologies to maintain control during long-range missions. A Ukrainian fixed-wing drone struck a high-rise in Dnipro on April 25, injuring six people and causing the evacuation of five residents. Counter-terror police are investigating a van that drove into the gate of a UAV Tactical Systems drone factory in Leicestershire.
